McColo Corp, an internet service provider that has been confirmed to be the provider of choice to a rogue's gallery of unsavory clients, has been cut off by its backbone providers, cutting the world's total volume of spam by as much as 75%. Sadly, these people will undoubtedly be able to find other service eventually. But enjoy the respite while it lasts.

I'm pretty sure all the "Misters I-have-no-virus" who run spam servers on their desktop machines without knowing it (why bother anyway, "I don't care.") will enjoy their stay in that special hell - they deserve it. :-)
But for the feeling that there's justice even within this world we're living in at the moment, actions should be taken to give legislature the proper means to punish spammers (detention fees, takeaway of their computers, even goto jail).
One spammer less on the Internet is very welcome, but not enough. Still, more than 90% of the mail transferred is spam. It's obvious why it is, isn't it?
